Proper bankroll management will not only to teach you how to keep a proper bankroll, it will help you improve your game.Hey all,
I quite my corporate job a few months back to grind 2/5 for a living. I did it succuessfully for the first 6 weeks, but eventually I went bust. My bankroll was only 5k which I think has a lot to do with me busting. I'm looking for pointers. Thanks
If I am not wrong - you started with only 10 Buy-In's what is really insufficient to avoid variance. Very risky upon my point of view...You played cash game tables with 5 USD BB's, correct?
That is correct. 200 min 500 max. Always stayed full. I've been playing for roughly 11 years and recreationaly I have been very successful. I decided to make the jump prematurely. What is a good bankroll to have to avoid going busto again?
You should have much more money if you want to do this and quit your ordinary job. I wouldnt have quit if i was you, i would have continued playing and working at the same time, having that safe income is crucial.

Besides starting out with 200 buy-ins as your playing bankroll. You should have at least six months of living expenses set aside. Rent, food, entertainment, medical and incidentals all have to be taken care of.
Well, like Terry and others mentioned above, you should have at least 50 BI's, but at 2/5NLH I would even get more secured with 100-200 BI's. And most of the experts advising the same.
I quit the cash tables 9 months ago, after being tilted and loosing around 18-19 BI's in a row at micro stakes. Passed to other formats and managed to rebuild my BR - mainly Sit&Go and Spin&Go and some MTT's.
In the end I hope you will recover somehow :top:
5k is what you bring along on a vacation to spend on fun.I would`t even attempt this with less than 25k.
Bankroll management applies to all buy-in levels regardless of experience.Do you have any experience in my limit?

Live cash you need 50 buy-ins+ and a 6month+ life bankroll.Hey all,

:rock:This. I think 100 buy-ins plus 6 months of expenses would be fine too. The 6 months of expenses is vital bc a 10 buy-in downswing won't change your mindset. Playing scared is a disaster.
Bankroll management is like insurance in life. You can insure yourself and nothing will happen. And you can not insure yourself - and get into trouble (for an insurance event).I've been getting mixed answers. I was winning at a %76.6 win rate playing 60hrs a week until I went on monkey tilt. I don't understand why I would need 100k to play 2/5NLH. Please explain further.
